"This...this isn't fair! Why should they get the same treatment as me when they haven't done anything?!"
The few surviving slaves couldn't believe that they had risked their lives to get this opportunity.
Why should other slaves, who deserve to die anyway, have the same opportunities as them?
Upon hearing this, the Whale Shark King sneered, "Oh, you have a problem with my decision?"
Sensing the terrifying killing intent emanating from the Whale Shark King, the slave trembled, unable to meet its gaze.
"Fairness? Fairness is nothing more than a rule set by the strong for the weak. The true strong break the rules. If you disagree, come out and defeat me!"
The Whale Shark King surveyed the room and declared loudly, "Because I am very strong, so strong that you cannot even look me in the eye. Therefore, I decide the rules of the game."
"Now, do you still have any objections?"
The slave knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I dare not, I dare not."
Upon hearing this, the Whale Shark King continued, "Since there are no problems, I'll add two more spots."
He pointed at Long Jian and Huo Linfei, "As long as you kill Yuan Zheng and those two, I'll give you three spots."
“Of those of you who should have been executed, three captains will live and become slaves.”
The Whale Shark King suddenly remembered something and said jokingly, "Oh right, we only have thirty minutes. If you don't kill them, you'll all be executed!"
On the pyramid, Lu Renjia became interested upon hearing these words.
After all, this was a process that wasn't in the original story, and it changed because of his appearance.
Whale Shark King's move was undeniably ruthless, putting Thales in a difficult position.
Because his people would definitely attack Yuan Zheng, Huo Linfei, and Long Jian in order to survive.
Yuan Zheng might not resist anything, after all, he believed in "love" and thought that "love" could influence all things.
Huo Linfei and Long Jian are different; they are both young men full of vigor and vitality.
Everyone else is going to kill them, are they really going to just obediently let themselves be killed?
If Huo Linfei and Long Jian killed the Golden Elephant Clan members, would Tai Lei still be able to join the Super Beast Team without any resentment?
Can so-called "love" really resolve all this sin and bloodshed?
Lu Renjia, in any case, didn't believe it.
No matter how crazy the Golden Elephant Clan is, they are still the people of Taire after all.
Even if Huo Linfei and Long Jian help him a lot, they are still just outsiders.
Moreover, the Whale Shark King set a time limit: if the slaves failed to kill Yuan Zheng, Long Jian, and Huo Linfei, they would all be executed.
This is the most insidious part, forcing those slaves to risk their lives within thirty minutes.
If they win the gamble, they will not only survive, but also become a slave captain with some power.
Even if you do nothing and don't kill others, they will still kill you.
Even if they unite and don't make a move, they will still face certain death when the time comes.
Whale Shark King's move completely cut off all escape routes for everyone in the game.
The slaves could only survive if they became the final victors.
Even if Huo Linfei and Long Jian showed mercy, they still couldn't save the lives of those slaves.
Lu Renjia didn't expect that the Whale Shark King would actually do something that was quite in line with the villain's character.
That's true. In fact, there are no clear-cut heroes and villains in Super Beast Armed, they just have different stances.
The real villains are probably just Guiguzi and Yexiaozi.
However, their differing stances destined them to engage in constant warfare and a lack of peace.
Only a unified empire can perhaps provide the universe with a brief period of stability.
Without saying much or going on and on, Lu Renjia also wanted to see what Huo Linfei and the others would do.
After all, the Whale Shark King's words weren't just for the slaves; they were also for the two of them.
Now that their superpower locks have been confiscated, they can't even carry out the most basic armaments; they are just ordinary mortals.
If someone were to be pierced by that sharp spear, they would die.
The Whale Shark King ignored their expressions and ordered his men to untie Huo Linfei and Long Jian and throw them next to Yuan Zheng.
Immediately afterwards, the whale shark soldiers threw a large number of spears in front of the group of slaves, giving them a handy weapon.
They also brought in an hourglass and placed it where everyone could see it.
With a wave of his hand, the whale shark king caused the hourglass to flip over, and sand began to fall slowly.
"The timer has started. You can begin your actions now. When the time is up, it's either you or them who die. You only have one chance, so don't let yourself regret it!"
Upon hearing this, the slaves immediately grabbed the spears in front of them and roared as they charged towards Yuan Zheng, Long Jian, and Huo Linfei.
Because they also know that now is not the time for infighting.
Only by joining forces to kill Huo Linfei and the others can they have a chance to become the final three victors.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"We will be the ones who survive!"
The slaves surrounded Huo Linfei and his two companions from all sides, seemingly intending to unite and deal with them first.
"Damn it, these people have been bewitched by the Whale Shark King and have instead taken up arms against their benefactor!"
"Huo Linfei has been fooled. We are unarmed. If we get injured, we could really die."
Long Jian reminded Huo Linfei that he sensed a strong sense of malice emanating from these slaves.
Suddenly, the surviving slave quietly slipped behind Yuan Zheng.
Terry happened to witness this scene and shouted, "Master, watch out behind you!"
"Go to hell! I'll be the one standing at the end!"
The slave, his eyes gleaming with malice, roared as he thrust his spear toward Yuan Zheng's heart.
Thales's warning came too late, and Yuan Zheng didn't want to resist, so the slave was about to get his way.
Suddenly, a red light flashed, and Huo Linfei, standing behind Yuan Zheng, kicked the slave away.
"Trying to launch a sneak attack right under my nose? You don't take me, Huo Linfei, seriously at all!"
However, Long Jian was very dissatisfied with Huo Linfei's squandering of the already limited amount of alien energy.
"Huo Linfei, didn't I tell you to take it easy? Don't waste your alien energy, or we'll be the ones who die!"
Huo Linfei raised an eyebrow in displeasure. "Hey Long Jian, what are you saying? Does saving people count as wasting supernatural energy?"
"Fine, I don't want to argue with you now. Either hold out for thirty minutes, or you take action and eliminate all these slaves!"
"I know, I don't need you to remind me of anything."
Huo Linfei and Long Jian both warily watched the slaves around them, each fighting their own battles.
However, they hadn't yet realized that their relationship had already reached a point where complete trust was no longer possible.
Lu Renjia caught this scene, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, Huo Linfei's usual double standards, combined with their current situation of being suppressed, are a good example.
This leads to the gradual amplification of each person's inner dissatisfaction without them realizing it.
Such a situation is indeed normal.
Because Huo Linfei showed no concern whatsoever for the deaths of the Azure Dragon Clan members, yet he was overly concerned about Tianyu.
Why should Tianyu's safety be prioritized over that of the Azure Dragon Clan, when they are all close relatives and loved ones?
Therefore, when his inner dissatisfaction was amplified, Long Jian felt that it was unfair.
For some reason, an unnamed fire burned in his heart.
Huo Linfei felt the same way; Tianyu's departure filled him with rage.
His eyes flashed with a cold light as he faced the slaves who wanted to kill them.
However, the slaves were not intimidated; instead, they charged forward to save their lives.
Seeing this, Thales roared in grief and anger.
"No...please stop! Stop hitting me!"
